Colin Brooks is a singer-songwriter, blues-rock guitarist and dobro player currently living in Austin, Texas. He is member of the Americana group the Band of Heathens.

Brooks was born and raised in Michigan, but moved to the southwest to pursue a career as a solo artist.[1] Brooks formed the Band of Heathens with Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi in 2006, after they shared a stage together as individual songwriters. They have since released three studio albums.[2] In 2009, the band was nominated for a "New Emerging Artist" award by the Americana Music Association. In 2010, the band was again honored by the Americana Music Association as nominees for the "Best Duo/Group of the Year". [3]
